  1. I actually picked it up a few weeks ago but last weekend did my first run with it out in the countryside - felt fantastic ;)) Most of my cars have been manual, but I find the throws to 3rd and 5th are somewhat long (as compared to my Boxster and my G35). I have heard there are short throw shifters available, any experience which one is best? Also, any recommendations for a good 3M clear bra installer in the Toronto area? Thanks.
  2. Thanks for the suggestion. The only items that are not mere check boxes on the CPO were the brake pad and rotor measurements. I have asked the dealer replacing the clutch to look into the ignition history.
  3. ... just an after thought - the car was driven the 5 miles with summer tires in the winter conditions we had this week around Buffalo. Could that have shredded the clutch to this extent? Peter
  4. Hi Guys, I have a huge problem. I just bought a beautiful 997-2 Traga 4S with 4,124 miles from Manhattan Motor Cars. Since I plan to keep the car for a long time and was bringing it to Canada I got the CPO with it. MMC seemed very thorough and emailed me the CPO inspection report as well as the work order for the PCM recall that they completed. I also engaged US Auto Imports to arrange transport to Toronto, customs clearance and Canadian certification. US Auto Imports were also highly recommended by several members of PCA Upper Canada who have used them and they have provided excellent service. US Auto Imports had the car transported via flatbed to the transport company’s yard near the Canadian border, close to Buffalo NY, then they were going to drive the car to the border, clear customs and bring it into Canada. MMC sent me photos of the car as it was being loaded on the flatbed, as well as a photo of the instrument cluster showing mileage of 4,124. When the US Auto Imports driver got to the border they contacted me saying the clutch is shot, it engages but vehicle slips upon acceleration. Engine is revving but vehicle is not moving very well. They also sent me photos showing the current mileage is 4,129. I had them flatbed the car to a Porsche dealer in Buffalo NY where they dropped the transmission and determined that the clutch is completely shot and the flywheel must also be replaced. They also attached photos showing some kind of fibre residue all around the clutch, but no sign of any fluid leakage. MMC claims their PCO inspection was very thorough, they would have been happy to put a new clutch in (and have PCNA pay for it) during the CPO process. Naturally, neither the original factory warranty nor the CPO covers the clutch, so now I am trying to determine where liability should be directed: MMC/PCNA or transport? I never heard of a clutch needing replacement after 4,000 miles nor being blown in 5 miles. I have uploaded photos of the clutch during disassembly, does anyone have any ideas? The clutch Many thanks, Peter
